Dayton Raceway Race 2 - Race 2 - 1609m
NOVA'S LEGEND (4) finished second last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 metres, after also filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 1609m at Northfield Park. Meets a comparable field and she can find winning ways. WHAT WILL I DO (6) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track eight days ago. DIVA NATION (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on October 19. Something for the Multiples: CATCH THE FAITH (9)

Two-year-old gelding facing the starter for the second time. At debut 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 45 m by Sonnys Big Brother (1:56.30) in OHFS 2C on October 5 at $61.80. Happy enough to avoid.

Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 23 m by Brecken (1:54.30) in 2YONW1PM on October 19 at $23.40. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 m by Play The Flute (1:54.30) in 2YONW1PM on October 6 at $7. Makes plenty of appeal.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Seaside Masquerade at Northfield Park over 1609m in a OHFCH 2F on October 10 at $13.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Classy Miki at this track over 1609m in a 2YONW1PM on October 19 at $1.60. Rates highly. Big chance.

Been racing consistently with 3 consecutive minor placings. Fair effort last start 3rd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by J Kaitlin (1:55.00) in 2YONW1PM on October 19 at $8.10. Can't recommend against this lot.
